A Missouri man, 48-year-old Brent Harrison of Isabella, is in the Ozark County jail following an incident in which he is alleged to have fired a gun towards a vehicle with a woman and two children inside.
The Ozark County Times reports Harrison faces felony charges of unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, creating a substantial risk.
According to the probable cause statement, an Ozark County Sheriff’s deputy responded to a report on May 29th of someone shooting at another person at a residence in Isabella. The deputy spoke with a woman who told him as she was driving away from a residence on County Road 618, Harrison, who had recently moved out of her residence, fired a gun at her while her 7-year-old and 12-year-old children were in the vehicle.
Ozark County Sheriff Darrin Reed and two officers traveled to Harrisons residence on Beard Lane in Isabella where the man reportedly told them his girlfriend of 24 years came onto the property and was cussing and flipping him off, resulting in him discharging his shotgun. Harrison reportedly told the officers the discharge was a warning shot, and he had told his girlfriend not to come back or Ill put it in her head next time. The statement says Harrison was visibly angered and frustrated while speaking with the officers.
The firearm was retrieved from the bed of Harrison’s truck, and he was placed under arrest. A spent shotgun shell casing was chambered when the .12 gauge shotgun was seized.
